Pre-Health Club

Carthage's Pre-Health Club is for students who want to pursue a career in the health field — pre-med, pre-vet, pre-pharmacy, pre-occupational therapy and pre-dental. Members volunteer in the community, gather for MCAT study sessions, job-shadow physicians, and more. Members of Pre-Health Club work to set themselves apart from other students when it comes to the admission process for higher education, and to work together to feel prepared for the upcoming challenges.
